Thanks to r/AskReddit we've collected 20 such conspiracy theories.

1
Flat earth. I thought people were just arguing for it for the memes til I met an actual flat earther. u/Morbidhanson

2
Sandy Hook massacre being staged. That one was just cruel. u/doittomejulia

3
Changing the shoes of an animated M&M. Who cares what it's wearing? It's an advertisement for candy. The people who got bent out of shape about it are weird. u/fawqueue

4
Jade Helm The idea that Obama was going to invade, conquer and occupy Texas like it was France and turn it into part of his own personal empire, and do it with just 1200 troops u/USSMarauder

5
I'm pretty sure Obama's tan suit was in the last 10 years. u/sonicsean899

6
Vaccines. It used to be normal to lose at least some of your kids to childhood illnesses, and vaccines changed all that. It's one of the best things science has ever done for humanity. Now we have people that won't get shots for themselves or their kids, and measles outbreaks are getting more common. u/Fun_in_Space

7
Culture war politics. u/TailsxCream4Eva

8
Birds aren’t real. u/AnlgnorablePerson

9
Harry and Meghan. They are plastered everywhere. u/BYOB2ME

10
Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us. Uj/non-newtonian

11
That masks don't work...Why on earth have doctors and nurses been wearing them all this time for operations and on wards where patients have communicable diseases? Yes, they're not 100% effective, but it helps to significantly reduce the number of particulates reaching you if both parties are masked. u/Salty_Paroxysm

12
The blue gold dress. u/Ok-Consideration1883

13
Stop the steal. u/TheSpanishImposition

14
Trans people have been known about for over 50 years, but now all of a sudden it's a huge issue. Right about the same time working class people are reaching a breaking point over stagnant wages and skyrocketing costs of living. Funny that. u/Alladin_Payne

15
Hogwarts Legacy was pretty dumb. Death threats and calls its literally killing people are pretty severe. It's just a video game. Don't remember that kinda hysteria over a video game since the 90s. u/gachi_for_jesus
